Now on national tour, Beetlejuice, which recently ended its Broadway run, is at Playhouse Square through January 29. It is a perfect pepper-upper for teens tired of school and winter confinement— or post-teens who still enjoy laughing at conventions. Nothing is subtle.
Beetlejuice, based on the 1988 film, has music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect and book by Scott Brown and Anthony King. Alex Timbers directs this strobe-heavy, raucous musical about a spirit from Hell and his ambition to haunt the living.
